AMSTERDAM, May ll»((‘orrespon-
dance of The Associated Press.)—
The women of Brussels carry baskets
on their arms like market women
when they go out in the streets, not
for their purchases but as a butter
between themselves and passing Ger-
mans. When one makes a German step
oft the walk, she regards it as a per-
sonal triumph.
The silent boycott of the Germans
by the Belgians is even more openly
maintained than ever, according to a
traveler who has lately lived in the
capital city. If a German sits down at
a table in a cafe, the Belgians in his
vicinity move away. If a number of
Germans enter, all of the Belgians pay
their accounts and walk out. The tra-
veler relates this incident which he
witnessed: ”.1
A German oflicer, evidently of high
rank, entered a restaurant and, after
looking over the card, asked the
1- waiter discontentedly, “lichen sie
nichts besser?"
The waiter, in a sarcastic tone, ex-
plained they had nothing better be-
cause the German government had
seized most of the food and very lit-
tle was coming in except on the Arm
erican relief ships.
A group of young Belgians nearby
laughed openly at the waiter’s sar-
casm. whereupon the German, offen-
ded, gave his card to the waiter
of a general. But
silenced, one of the (Belgians asked

Snybrook, opposed the bill saying that
the state was not ready to start such
site which is known as the Gallup
farm, and said its condition would,
drive a man to drink and he thought
that all the members of the appropri-
ation committee should be sent there
for three months.
Mr. Backus, of Thompson; Mr. lien-
dcrsou, of Norwich; Mr, Hall, of Plain-

Mr. Bailey, of Norwich, all spoke in

Morton's contention was that the proo~

starting point, that an inebrlatc farm

the bill for a commission to investi-
gate the jail problem had bccn turned
down. The bill, however, was passed
with little opposition. , \

RHODE ISLAND ANTHRACITE.
llhode Island anthracite has long
been a puzzle to mining men and
capitalists. Is it a fuel or can It be
best used for limiting refractory lin-
ings for blast furnaces? After a study
of the Ithodc Island anthracite field,
the character and qualities of the
coal, and the results of tests of its
use in house and steam furnaces and
the United States Geological survey
has published a preliminary report by
George H. Ashley in Bulletin 541-F.
The coal has been known in Rhode
Islandfor 150 years or more and dur-
ing the last 100 years scores of at-
tempts have been made to mine it
commercially in many places. With
been successful. and .most of the
mines have been abandond within
three years. ‘x ‘
In general it has been found that;
Rhode Island anthracite is difficult
to handle, and that the cost of handl-
ing, on account of, the large quantity
required to produce a given amount
of heat and the higher percentage of
of ash, will be greater. than that of
other coals; furthermorewhen burn-
ed it can produce only from 40 to 80‘
per cent.'of the heat units produced
by the coals with which n neces-
sarily must compete. In general it
may be said to show about two-thirds
the'heat value of Pocahontas coal
andgwhenlthe extra cost of, handling
the coal and ash is reckoned it may
be estimated that Rhoda Island an-
thracite ,willx. yield not over one-half
the heat afforded, dollar for "dollar,
by Pocahontas, coal. . "
